Not too proud to ask for prayers ...

Have you checked with government agencies. We have been working on financing and with that I have come across a ton of government help. Hud, amazingly enough USDA, blah blah blah. Anyway they all have links to more help within your state. I know I saw several links to rent and moving assistance. Definitely put some items up.

Prayers sent your way. Good luck selling on the street corner! We lived in Long Beach, one block away from prostitutes and across the street from gangs, luckily we were able to move away, I hope the same for you!

Tax return time is right around the corner, don't know if you get money back or not but if you do is there anyone who would let you borrow some against your expected return? I did that one year for a friend, we had vacation money saved that we were not going to be using until June and she had to move and needed deposit money. I let her borrow our vacation money until she filed her taxes and got her return, she filed as soon as she got her W-2 and she had the money back within a month and I was repaid the day she got her return. It worked out for everyone. There are also some tax advance loans you can get but they usually charge an arm and a leg, so I don't usually suggest those but if it is the only way to get into the perfect situation and is going to save you 150 per month it might even be worth it to you.


I hope it all works out.

Nope, in fact, we have to dig up a couple grand for taxes, too. Don't know where it's gonna come from. Maybe I can pull it outta the side of my head.

All the more reason we need to live in a region where the cost of living is significantly lower. We love where we live (the city anyway, not the neighborhood) and love our life here, just can't afford it anymore.

BTW, for those of you who are Kaiser patients--you know those Kaiser ads where they brag about their new electronic medical record? Just so you know, the doctors are doing their own reports now and putting all KINDS of crap in them (not all of it necessarily accurate because they are doctors, not secretaries or transcriptionists, and they're in a huge hurry to get to their next patient, so you can only imagine what's ending up in your records these days), and the advent of Kaiser's electronic medical record put 1200 medical records technicians, medical transcriptionists, coders and billers in northern California alone out of work--and your medical records will NEVER be the same again.

The advent of Kaiser's medical record and the loss of my job (I'm primary wage-earner) has devastated us. We are literally making 1/3 of what we were just 2-1/2 years ago.
